Brian Bell Enterprises LLC

Brian Bell Enterprises LLC, through its Fire-Fuels Division doing business as Eagle Cap Forest Management, is a small business prime contractor specializing in wildland fire management, hazardous fuels reduction, and forestry services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service across the western United States. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor—100% of its 111 awards in the source are prime awards—and competes predominantly under total small business set-asides, though a substantial portion of its work carries no set-aside designation and appears on full-and-open vehicles.

Brian Bell Enterprises is a for-profit limited liability partnership based in eastern Oregon (La Grande and Baker City are named performance locations) and delivers concrete forestry capabilities including mechanical thinning, mastication, grapple piling, manual vegetation treatments, hazardous fuels reduction, and heavy equipment rental for wildland fire suppression and incident response. Representative work includes a $178,500 delivery order from USDA Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) awarded July 24, 2026 for wildland fire management and fuels reduction in Pendleton, Oregon; a $210,602 BPA call order from Region 6 awarded October 1, 2023 for mastication services in La Grande, Oregon under a total small business set-aside; and a $2.0 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement for fuels reduction on the Malheur National Forest running through August 2033, awarded September 6, 2023.

Customer concentration is extreme and regional. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R6-Pacific Northwest Region dominates both volume and dollars: 85 of 111 awards (76% of all awards) valued at $23.2 million of the vendor's $26.4 million combined potential value. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for an additional 7 awards valued at $2.1 million, and the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington holds 5 awards valued at $272 thousand. Together, these three customer nodes represent 95% of awards by count and 99% of combined potential value.

The vendor holds six parent contract vehicles, all with the Forest Service or National Interagency Fire Center. The largest is an Indefinite Delivery Contract (AG04M3C140031) carrying 9 task orders valued at $842 thousand; an IDC (1204M318D0010) carries 8 task orders valued at $1.7 million; and a Blanket Purchase Agreement (AG04H1B157260) carries 8 task orders valued at $440 thousand. Work is categorized 98% under NAICS 541712 (Support Activities for Forestry) and 82% under PSC Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression.

Activity has been uneven. The vendor received 11 awards in 2022, declined to 6 in 2023 and 7 in 2024, and placed only 4 awards in 2026 (the source date is October 2026, so this reflects a partial-year snapshot). Only 2 awards are scheduled for ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $792 thousand—a low recompete exposure window. The vendor's most substantial IDVs—the $5.0 million Wallowa-Whitman/Umatilla mechanical thinning BPA and the $2.0 million Malheur fuels reduction BPA—do not expire until May 2027 and August 2033 respectively, providing stable platform for recurring task orders.

Service Contract Inventory data covers four prime records spanning FY2022–FY2023, with SCI-reportable invoiced revenue of $244 thousand (FY2022: $171 thousand across 0.6 FTEs; FY2023: $73 thousand across 0.3 FTEs). SCI data, which captures federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold and excludes goods and products, represents only a narrow slice of the vendor's federal footprint—most awards are equipment rentals, forestry labor, or supplies falling outside SCI scope. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime work ranged from $129.72/hr (10th percentile) to $134.32/hr (90th percentile), with a median of $132.02/hr. The vendor performs all work directly with no subcontractor engagement across SCI records.
